Yes... I think of this issue as an example of "small values of infinity". If you are working with a number that overflows your representation, in the context of that calculation it might as well be infinite (since your results will be inconsistent with your intent). (Contextually speaking, any value larger than a relevant value might as well be thought of as infinity...) ((For example, when dealing with numbers in the range 0..1, the number 2 might as well be infinity.)) -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
